Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (ABETS ABET) (5-1) - Veteran is racing off a bit more than a two-month freshening. Speed/stalker is working fast and is from leading trainer Ramon Preciado (21% off of long layoffs). Cal import has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Ponytail) (4-1) - Lightly raced Augustin home bred checked in a distant 2nd here at this level Oct. 24th. Consistent sort has worked well at Fair Hill since then, and she has enough early speed to stay close and factor late.
3rd pick: #6 (Delicate Lady) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, filly ships from Belmont where she ran 3rd at this level going seven furlongs Oct. 14th. In the barn of Todd Pletcher, he as Jose Ortiz making the trip for the mount. An obvious win candidate at a very short price.
4th pick: #3 (Brazilian Symphony) (9-2) - Filly moves up in class in her first off a Mike Vera claim (a strong 30% winning angle). Stretch runner has spent most of her career locally and has gone 17-4-4-3. She likes this distance (6-2-2-0) and must be left in the mix.
